Implants Removed 4/18 W/ No Pain Meds, LOVE It! - Orange County, CA

WORTH IT$3,000
5 days post now - Went to drs to get drains out a couple of days early since my fluid was minimal. I was so glad to them out and he also removed the tape covering my incisions and that was probably the saddest part because after going through 4 surgeries using the same incision site, my nipples look disfigured. As for my breasts, I still have a lot of loose skin and a "double bubble" appearance. Dr said it's like someone who had just given birth and it will take a while for my skin to bounce back into place. Pregnancy is 9 months and my implants have been in me for over 10 years so I'm not too thrilled about what they will eventually look like. But overall, regardless of all of these things, I am still more satisfied with having these disfigured breasts than my old implants. I just hope within time, it just might look a tad better than it does right now.

You have a great attitude! Some times we just have to put ourselves through these things to come out a more whole person. I'm glad you're loving your natural self. Thank you for sharing.

I wish I would have known about this place before I had surgery #1,2,and 3 but this is definitely a learning experience. Even though my current breasts are not that great looking, its a constant reminder to love the real me and that in itself, is absolutely wonderful. =)
Hi, i'm sure they look better than you think, but regardless it is great to hear you feel good about it x
Thank you but seriously, it doesnt look good. I still have my double bubble but instead of big boobies, its small pancakey double bubbles. But i'm ok, I take these pancakes over my old boobs any day! :)
Thank you! Putting on clothes and not having to worry about my big implants is an absolutely wonderful feeling. Just wish I would have done this sooner. And as for my breasts now, I wish I can say its not that bad but it is at the aereola. The bottom half is pretty much gone because the scar tissue is so thick that it causes the incision line to sunk in which makes nipple point south. But I'm ok with this bc it will now serve as a constant reminder to learn to love me for me.
Your story sounds just like mine, although This exlpant surgery will be the FINAL 4th surgery. Yay! I'm excited although still going on consults. I am in Orange County and wondering if you could tell me who your doctor was that did the explant. Thank you and god bless!
Hi! Sorry havent logged into here in the longest time due to family crisis. I cant even recall my drs name but luckily I still remember where it is and googled it: cosmeticinstitute.org How are you doing after your explant surgery? I hope youre just as happy as I am. God bless.
Who was your PS?
I posted link below, just type in www and you will get there. he just took my implants out and really didnt do anything else but then again i dont know the extent of my situation.
please note the amount charged was actually $4000, i cant fix the amount on top for some reason.
ORIGINAL POST

My whole breast implant journey started around 12 years ago: - Got silicones and was too big, 34D - Went back in a couple months after to fix "double bubble" but couldnt afford smaller implants - Two years later, after covering up my implants on a daily basis, I decided to get smaller ones but I only went down 100ccs which was not that much smaller so I ended up with 34C, full C - Still didnt like my breast size so I still covered it up and at this time, I was out of money so kept it. Developed CC on one side which made it even worse for me to show it so it remained cover for another 10 years. - Just a month ago, I decided it was time to finally get them out. I was tired of constantly covering with my hair, loose clothing, or jackets and called up several places for quotes and ended up with one dr - Surgery was on 4/18/12 and the most painful part was probably the insertion of the iv needle. I was so glad this will be the last time I will be doing this to myself and kept thinking why on earth did i put myself thru these painful experiences just for some big boobs. Surgery went very well and I had minimal pain so I opted to not take any pain meds. Now I'm just waiting for dr to take drains out and I will be one happy person......finally. --------------- Three days post op and I honestly am loving every single minute of being implant free. I was ridiculed as a child and teen for not having boobs and the only way out was to get implants but now, being older, my perspectives has changed and I appreciate being in my own skin......being happy in my own skin to be exact. I love the fact I dont have to hide my big boobs anymore and even though it was a tough and expensive journey, it made me learn to love myself and all of my flaws more.
